This characterization is entirely inappropriate for this list. As Linux becomes a mainstream technology (No doubt the goal of the serious individuals on this list.), women, minorities, gays, lesbians, and transgendered human beings will be part of the linux community. Every human being deserves to be extended decency and respect in the workplace. This _is_ the linux workplace. Individual behavior needs to be mindful of this reality. Demeaning and sexually explicit characterizations targeting these groups have no place here. All groups should be equally welcome to participate and contribute to the global linux and open source technology workplace.
Davide, you only hurt your argument by digressing into such negative behavior. Now everyone please let this subthread die and get back to work. -- ---- Karen Shaeffer Neuralscape; (831) 426-8547 Santa Cruz, Ca. 95060 shaeffer@neuralscape.com http://www.neuralscape.com -------------------------------------------------------
